The e-learning ecosystem is one that is continuing to grow and evolve. In 2015, the industry as a whole was worth over $100 billion and it is projected to reach close to $450 billion dollars by 2020. E-learning is a very broad term but essentially refers to any type of learning that contains or uses electronic technologies. This blog will explore some of the advantages and tools of e-learning in 2016.

There are an increasing number of educational institutions opting to offer e-learning resources or courses in addition to their traditional courses or degrees. These can be complementary courses or stand-alone lectures that appeal to a different audience than the day-to-day students who learn in person and in a classroom. For institutions, there are a clear array of advantages in expanding learning offerings digitally. On a basic level, e-learning can help cut down on costs by reducing the need for physical space. You no longer need to fill seats in classrooms and can broadcast a lecturer sitting anywhere in the world to an unlimited number of students throughout the globe.

Customized learning

Coming to a series of lectures or classes in person at a university or college means you need to physically be somewhere at a certain hour and change your schedule to fit that of the learning institution you have chosen. E-learning empowers students by allowing them to customize and create their own learning pace and schedule. If a class is too fast you can slow it down, repeat the class, or ask questions in helpful online forums. If the timing of a class doesn’t work for you, you can simply log on and watch at a different time. It’s much easier to switch courses too; you don’t need to physically go somewhere else. Essentially, all the content you could possibly want is available at the click of your finger.

Not all learning is video

While a huge amount of e-learning is facilitated through live streaming, recorded lectures or one-on-one sessions with teachers through various voice and video streaming software platforms, there is a large arena of other e-learning materials. Within this, online discussion forums are a vital tool. There are a number of great software platforms that facilitate discussions on various subjects, for example, Blackboard. These forums are a place for students and teachers to communicate outside of the lesson material itself and for students to raise issues they are unsure of or struggling with.

Using voice as a learning tool

For a long time, online discussion boards have been text-based forums. They are a great resource for questions and troubleshooting, and one that students can easily refer back to without having to re-watch a lengthy class or lecture. However, it is often difficult to communicate the nuances of the “right answer” or of a particular lesson through text. Luckily there are now other options out there; a great way to make these boards feel more personal and for answers to be less ambiguous is to add voice comments. Voice comments allow students and teachers to communicate directly through voice snippets and work together to learn better.

SEO refers to search engine optimization and covers all the technical and creative elements involved in improving site rankings and driving traffic to your website. This includes a lot of different things, from generating consistently great content, to the ways in which you structure your website and the links you include in it. Over the years, SEO has been evolving in more sophisticated and interesting directions, and today, the trends of voice content and voice searches are set to further change the world of SEO.

The evolution of SEO

There have been tons of changes in the world of SEO. Once, SEO was all about cramming in the correct keywords into a web page or blog. If you were an air-conditioning salesperson than you can bet the word air-conditioning would have featured roughly one thousand times in every sentence. Keywords were very much at the center of things. However, over time, search engine algorithms have become much more sophisticated and have learned to favor more natural types of speech. When Google released Hummingbird in 2013, it moved SEO towards more conversational content. In 2016, search engine algorithms have gone further, and content that is longer and more in depth tends to do better. Content with photos also consistently outperforms text-based content, and backlinks remain essential.

It is not just text and images that are rapidly changing the world of SEO. The increasing popularity of voice search means that today over 20% of mobile queries are voice searches. These kinds of searches are based on questions rather than keywords, and they are changing SEO. For one thing, content that is conversational or that answers questions (think FAQ style) are performing well. It’s also likely that instant answers will become more popular and feature as the response for a greater number of voice-based queries. However, this doesn’t mean that we should stop paying attention to typed searches. At the moment, a whopping 80% of all mobile searches are still text-based.

Voice content also changes things

Web site and blog content tend to be a mixture of text, video, and images. And while video and image content is incredibly important, and proven to help with SEO, audio-based content is the one to watch in 2016. The fact that people are using voice assistants more and more frequently suggests that the importance of voice content is also increasing. If you can’t look at your screen and can only voice search, then it’s reasonable to assume there are many times when audio content would be preferable to content that forces you to stare at your phone or laptop. And, as voice and speech analytics continues to improve it is only a matter of time before keywords and phrases in voice become an essential part of SEO.

Disruptive innovation is a term coined by Clayton Christensen back in 1995 that describes the way a new technology enters, disrupts and fundamentally changes a market. The concept has gained traction in recent years and describes common market patterns. As incumbents in various arenas focus on their core market and on creating and refining ever better technologies (and ones that their customers may not in fact need), they leave the market open to other newer companies that are able to swoop in and disrupt the market with business models that appeal to a different target market, include a different technology or have lower margins.

There are countless examples of fledgling companies, innovators and entrepreneurs who have swooped in and fundamentally changed existing markets. One great example is SodaStream who changed the beverage category. In an arena ruled by giants like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, creating a new soft drink and gaining market share is extremely challenging. Among other things, this is connecting to the bottling factories, which are either owned by or in partnership deals with the incumbents. On the other hand, building an entire bottling plant from scratch is an incredibly expensive capital expenditure, which has the risk of never yielding good returns. To solve this problem, SodaStream essentially eliminated the need for bottles by allowing you to create the soda you want yourself, in your own home. This has fundamentally changed the way we purchase and consume soft drinks.

Digital disruption

In 2016 in particular, much of the disruptive innovation that has taken place has been in the digital realm. New digital technologies are not just disrupting tech giants, they are also radically transforming traditional arenas of business such as agriculture, health care, manufacturing and even government. Of course, not all of this is restricted to online innovations. In many instances, radical disruption of existing industries occurs in the nexus of the digital world with the world of hardware, or in other words, the Internet of Things. But in some cases, the digital world is learning to reinvent some of the constants and behaviors that we have come to take for granted.

Voice is disrupting industries

Voice technologies are transforming digital worlds by giving us voice assistants, voice-activated driving and now voice based comments and reviews platforms. One of the more traditional and unchanging aspects of websites and e-stores has long been the comments and reviews sections. This is something that was integrated into web platforms years ago, but it is only in recent years that the importance of user-generated content as a marketing channel has been fully understood. And it is now that new technologies are rethinking the way reviews and comments are created and the very platforms that support them. With comments and reviews, the focus has long been on text-based user testimonials and ideas, but all this is finally shifting towards voice.

While the future is full of menacing potential policies and vast uncertainties, the past is full of disappointment for Hilary’s supporters, many of whom are struggling to get to drips with what just happened. Today is the 5th day of Trump protests across the nation and the purpose of these protests is not just a protest against Trump but a movement of solidarity for immigrants and others that Trump’s presidency may well negatively impact. And though the future is still unknown, a lot of people have a lot to say about things. Now more than ever, there is a huge amount of speculation on what will really be the outcome of this new President Elect. And whether you love, hate or are downright fearful of Trump’s impact on the US, the media needs to provide not just information but a safe space for debate. If you are a blogger or content provider, it’s critical – now more than ever – to foster the right environment for discussion.

Build a meaningful discussion

The key to creating a discussion is to build a meaningful rather than a toxic dialogue and this can be tricky. Curtailing one-sidedness and learning to engage in emotional dialogue are a good place to start. To do this online, you need the right tools. While pretty much every blog and website come with a comments section, this traditional text-based mode of communicating may actually be doing more harm than good. When we write online it is inherently ambiguous because we are losing so much of the personal aspect of communication that is part of the tone of voice and body language. Of course, it is impossible to truly bring all of this to the online world at the moment (maybe in future we will all be communicating through VR avatars and things will change). But for now, it is worth exploring voice comments and reviews, a far more direct and personal way to let your readers express their election opinions.

It has been 110 years since the very first voice over was recorded by Reginald Fessendon, the first ever voice heard on radio. Over 20 years later, Looney Toons came to life along with Mickey Mouse and many other iconic cartoon characters. Walt Disney had the honor of introducing the first ever cartoon voice in 1928. And in the 30s the voice over industry began to expand rapidly with larger and larger numbers of animated films being produced. This led to the formation of actor’s guilds and the professionalization of the industry. In the 1940s the first legal TV ad was run. In the beginning, voice-overs were anonymous “in-between” jobs and remained very much behind the scenes. This remained the case for a long time, but in recent decades voice-overs have increased in popularity with the release of major cartoon blockbusters, and the world of voice-overs has come to the forefront of acting.

There is a long list of celebrities who have lent their voice to various cartoons; just think of James Earl Jones and Jeremy Irons in the Lion King, or Edie Murphy in Shrek. And the list goes on. Over the years, voice-overs have transformed from behind the scenes odd jobs into a valuable marketing tool for the film industry. When new cartoon films come out, most audiences are looking out for which celebs will be involved. A case in point is the new movie Trolls with an all-star cast including Gwen Stefani, Justin Timberlake, and Anna Kendrick. The wide range of well-known celebrities voicing films is a useful marketing tool to target not only children but also parents.

And while the status and wages associated with voice-overs have transformed over the years, something else has been happening in parallel. The big name voice actors and celebs remain rooted in the old work paradigm of agents and auditions, and much of the industry continues to work this way. However, for a lot of voice-over actors, the bold new frontier is the online market. The voice over market has expanded rapidly on online marketplaces like Fiverr to the point where you can basically find any voice you want for around 5 dollars (you might have to pay more for longer jobs or extras but this is still incredibly cheap).

The quality can be a bit hit and miss on major marketplaces offering such a wide range of skills for money. And in response to this, a number of voice over only marketplaces have been opening up. Voices.com is the largest online marketplace for voice-overs and provides a whole range of services including radio, cartoons, audiobooks, business and more. With a lot of online marketplaces, the focus is on speed and low-cost which means that quality often suffers. But today, a number of online marketplaces have opened up to ensure that the voices customers pay for are high quality. Voicebunny allows you to scroll through and select a voice over from a wide range of professional actors.

While voice-overs continue to merge and change, they remain a backbone of the way we communicate and entertain. Now more than ever, voice and voice-overs are critical not just for advertising, but also for education, communication, entertainment and more.

Video games were once the realm of Pacman and Space Invaders, with various blobs moving across screens accompanied by a symphony of bleeps (don’t get me wrong, those games are still amazing). But as the technologies evolved to allow for more complex and immersive video game experiences, the characters and sounds of video games have evolved as well. The current format is like a complex and interactive film, and in many ways, the actors are as important as they would be in a film or TV show. Yet, for the most part, video game actors remain anonymous, hidden behind various animated characters.

Voice acting is a very different gig to regular on-screen acting, or to acting at the theater. For one thing, there is no set script but rather a series of optional and interactive choices. They characters and the dialogue depend on the players and the choices they make within the game. Today’s video games are often full of stunning visuals, and have great actors; but there are still problems with shoddy script writing, discrimination and more. Yet the genre continues to evolve and improve providing the world with more compelling characters and storylines in each new game.

For a long time, video game characters have been popular animated figures powered by anonymous actors. For example, think back to Lara Croft. We can all remember the movie with Angelina Jolie, but how many of us can actually remember the voice actor behind the video game? (The truth is there were actually a whole series of actors). Today this voice anonymity is starting to shift as increasing numbers of celebrities voiced video game characters. And this makes sense especially considering the top video games easily make more than similar Hollywood Blockbusters. Grand Theft Auto V made an enormous $1 billion dollars in just three days.

So who are all these celebrities lending their fame to video games? Well, Gary Oldman voiced the Call of Duty series, the incredible Sir Patrick Steward has voiced a number of games, and Ron Perlman has reportedly voiced over 25 separate video games. Emma Stone and Lucy Lui have also lent their voices to various different games. In fact, there is now a very long list of celebrity voices in video games, an industry that is reportedly worth an enormous 111 billion dollars.

But despite the celebs, the size of the industry, and its increasing development and success in recent years, the gaming industry is all set to go on strike on October 21st. The issue at the center of things is the enormous profitability of the industry versus the fact that voice actors in video games still make so much less than actors in Hollywood blockbusters. In addition, many of the actors have complained about vocally stressful sessions including screaming and shouting that can actually cause long-term damage to actor’s voices.

While the compensation issue remains to be settled, it is clear that voice is at the center of the gaming world. However great the visuals are, without a compelling storyline and realistic characters, video games just wouldn’t have the same appeal to target audiences. So paradoxically, while the technologies are moving us further away from the real world, voice remains the center of things, anchoring the games in a real-world and almost personal connection with ever more elaborate characters. And this is just the beginning; VR and AR look set to completely revolutionize the gaming industry. Provided actors are compensated fairly, the future of gaming is all set to look and sound fantastic.

From start to finish, the US presidential campaign lasts nearly two whole years (going from initial committees to presidential inauguration) and costs millions if not billions of dollars. According to estimates, Hillary’s campaign may be as costly as 2 billion dollars, while Trump has reportedly pledged to spend 2 million dollars per week. Overall, this may be the most expensive election to date with experts predicting a total cost of up to 5 billion dollars. And unlike other countries, there is no legislation regarding the length of official campaigns, which makes America’s presidential campaign one of the world’s absolute longest campaigns ever. But as we near the end of October, November 8th no longer seems so far away. And if you’ve been blogging about this election, then it’s been quite a marathon, but we are now just about ready for the final sprint.

How to stand out in a presidential avalanche

It’s been a dramatic battle between Trump and Clinton, and the latest polls show Clinton holds an 11-point lead over Trump, quite likely as a result of Trump’s leaked tape and the sexual assault allegations against him. The media has been writing, posting, videoing and generally sharing non-stop content about these allegations, about Trump and about Clinton so that it almost feels there is nothing else going on in the world except these elections. And in terms of the content itself, as with all content, it ranges from shockingly low quality to Pulitzer prize worthy journalism. But with events such as this one, the big question for bloggers and content owners is how to make content stand out in an avalanche of presidential material.

Make your readers the center of the political debate

While there is no easy answer to make your content shine amongst the millions of other Hillary vs. Trump articles and blogs, there are a couple of things that can help increase your reach. For starters, your focus should be on generated a user debate and not just on generating your own content. Your content is the jumping off point, but the real action is in the talkbacks and comments from your users. And if that alone isn’t persuasive enough, research has shown that user generated-content is an extremely influential form of media that has more views, a higher click through rate and lower costs.

Give your users a voice (literally)

In the world of user-generated content (or UGC), there is tough competition. Pretty much every blog or website has a vibrant comments section, and social media allows for even more interaction. And according to some (quite scary) studies, 70% of readers don’t even bother reading anymore, they just read the title and skip straight to the comments. With such a strong focus on UGC, a great way to draw more attention to what you do is to improve the way your readers interact and comment on your content. And while comment platforms have been exclusively built for text and image based communication, there is now a new trend in voice comments. Giving your users a voice (quite literally) might just be the best way to make your election blog stand out.

Artificial intelligence has long been the domain of science fiction fans and film buffs, but the ever-improving technologies of our age seem to be bringing us increasingly closer to that point where machines solve problems even better than humans and even take over the world. According to Stanford, AI is “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. The ultimate effort is to make computer programs that can solve problems and achieve goals in the world as well as humans”. The major goal here is to make a machine or code that can learn. According to Elon Musk, AI is humanity’s greatest existential threat. And if that’s not bad enough, Stephen Hawking says we “couldn’t compete and would be superseded by A.I”. But for now, at least, AI remains mostly bound to the realm of helpful smart home gadgets and personal assistants.

Why voice is so important

So given the terrifying and amazing potential in AI, what’s new in 2016? Interestingly, the voice seems to be one of the new and important things in this domain. Ok, so AI has had a voice for a long time (whether it is Siri or Alexa or HAL from Stanley Kubrik’s epic 2001: A Space Odyssey), but voice has made some interest leaps and bounds lately. Google’s DeepMind just produced some of the most realistic machine speech to date. It is based off real human speech. DeepMind is Google’s AI branch, initially, a small British company that was later acquired by the tech giant, and interestingly, was also responsible for creating Google’s ethics board. Read up on some interesting facts on DeepMind here.

The recipe for voice

So how do these incredibly intelligent AI’s put together realistic sounding human voices? Well, there are actually a few alternative ways of doing this. Google’s system is known as WaveNet and works on a base of real human voices; it generates voices by sampling real human speech and directly modeling audio waveforms based on it. Other well-known technologies like Siri and Alexa literally piece together a patchwork of spoken words to create each sentence. Siri’s voice is actually recordings from a voice actress called Susan. But there is an alternative to using real human speech, and it involves computer generating a voice based on sounds and grammar rules. But though it might sound promising, for now at least, computer-generated voices still sound pretty robotic and are not nearly as pleasant to listen to as Siri/Susan.

Finding the right voice

It’s pretty complicated to find a voice actor or actress and record every possible sound they can make and then somehow patch them all together to make a relatively natural sounding AI or personal assistant voice. And as if this wasn’t enough to worry about, finding the right kind of voice presents yet another challenge. Voices are powerful and personal instruments that can have a huge influence on our perception of the world. Ultimately, any choice of voice has implications for design, branding or interacting with machines. A voice can change or harden how we see each other. There seems to be a prevalence of Caucasian female voices when it comes to smart homes and personal assistants, but ultimately there is no one voice setting for all and most savvy companies are realizing the important of local voices and nuance (Siri, for example, has “Karen” from Australia, “Moira” from Ireland and more). As AI continues to grow and learn, voice grows with it, and new voice technologies are continuing to leapfrog us into the future.

The creation of digital media (which was conceptualized as early as 1950) caused a well-known and major revolution in the way we use and interact with journalism, education, publishing and many other industries. It is perhaps one of the best-known examples of disruptive innovation and completely changed the way media was viewed and consumed. However, while most people focus on the easy to distribute a digital form of online media, its low costs and a wide potential pool of readers, one of the main changes in our view of media is often overlooked. One of the major innovations that digital brought to media was to change printed articles from static expert pieces to a springboard for dialogue.

Digital media is about a decentralization of knowledge and space where readers can be active about the content they read. The days of passively reading a newspaper or magazine and then throwing it out are long gone. Today’s media is all about heated debates, reader talkbacks and strong opinions. Today, successful media is really media that gets a conversation going. In other words, the role of the reader and the understanding of readership has fundamentally morphed and changed since digital media was unleashed.

Digital readers care less than ever before about news sources and more than ever about the conversation. Now, brands have long ago cottoned on to the importance of user-generated content. The days of seeing and believing brand advertising are gone. Today’s millennials and Gen Z’s are more skeptical than ever before and would much rather read the thoughts and reviews of their peers than listen to a brand sing its own praises about products or services. The thing is, media has gone in a similar direction. And while we still need reliable news sources, their role has changed dramatically. Rather than being the be-all and end-all of news, they are now a catalyst for debate.

Great articles get shared on social media, tweeted, shouted about and even (if content publishers are very lucky) go viral. To do any of this, it is imperative that users have a space to air their opinions. It is not enough to have outstanding content. It is not enough to be unique. Great content producers must also nurture a safe environment for users to interact with news.

So how can you encourage readers to interact (because let’s face it you can’t force them). Great content is certainly the beginning. Finding the right niche for content is also incredibly important because the stories need to speak to the right people. There is no point writing an article about the Rio Olympics and only reaching a group of people who hate sport. There is no point posting about Pokemon Go if your target audience is high profile executives (although who knows, it seems like now everyone is playing).

Once you have the content and the target market sorted (and this is certainly not trivial) its time to invest in a high-quality and easy-to-use comments platform that enables users to create and share comments. People usually want to share their opinions, but they want to do it in a way that is straightforward and comfortable. And while media can easily be plastered across social media, this doesn’t necessarily give content an edge. Similarly, while every website development tool now has some sort of automatic comment section, this might not be your best bet. It is definitely worth doing some research on comment platforms and choosing something that stands out from the crowd. One great way to differentiate is to choose different types of media. While almost everyone seems to be sticking with text-based comments, there are a few pioneers trying out different things like video and voice.

Website owners and content writers often wonder what the trick is to creating successful viral content. How can you ensure that your creation (be it a product, blog or article) spreads like wildfire and starts to ‘infect’ the Internet. Sometimes the whole concept of viral content is almost like a black box – it isn’t always clear why one article about politics or dogs or food or toys goes viral when so many others do not. However, there are some tips and tricks that can come in useful if you are trying to make your content more viral.

First of all, there are experts out there like Professor Jonah Berger from Wharton who specialize in researching the ways media goes viral and what makes it most likely to do so. The main takeaways from his research are that useful content gets shared more often, and content that is both more positive and more emotional is much more likely to go viral. So making things more likely to go viral can be brought about by tweaking your content to make it more useful and/or more emotional. High-arousal emotions are the key to getting people worked up enough about content to not just read but also actually share. And clearly this makes sense; when we read something that makes us care or cry or fill up with rage; we are more likely to do something about it.

Media hooks are a great way to help content go viral. Just think of all the titles you have seen online lately like “12 ways to…”, “Click here to find out the amazing secret…” and so on. Lists and tips are a great way of getting readers to click and share. Busting common myths or challenging common knowledge is another great way of grabbing your reader’s attention. Trusted articles (ie. ones that tap into known experts or reliable sources) are also a great way to get people interested, and failing that people love visuals so infographics are always a good move.

It’s a good idea to understand the motivations that make people actually share the content that they read. Top reasons included sharing useful content and self-fulfillment, but one of the most important reasons mentioned in a survey of 2500 people carried out by the New York times was to grow and nourish relationships and stay connected with each other. So sharing content is not just about the content itself, but about people’s wider networks and the ways in which they stay connected.

Couple these tips with a great website UX and easy to share comments and your users will have an even greater ability and incentive to share not just your content, but their own comments and conversations too. A great way to improve the viral effect of content is to include different modalities. Most content creators know the importance of visuals and don’t just rely on text, but it can also be useful to incorporate audio or even voice snippets. Today there are platforms available that enable you to share and comment on content not just through text but also through voice.
